Oil pickup tube & screen

[Alexander]

Hi Folks,

I Just took the oil pan off to replace the rear main seal and noticed the oil pickup screen is very dirty!  Checking online, I could not find "reasonably" priced source. 

Does anyone know if perhaps a modern variant can be retro fitted to work on the 51?

Otherwise, any thoughts on the best way to clean this? Does the screen disassemble for service/cleaning? 

Thanks!

Just pull the cotter pin, take it apart and clean it .

Yep, just clean it, some sort of solvent thinners would work to loosen the crud, then degrease & hose it out, leave in the sun to dry and its done............andyd
